CEP (courier, express and parcel) companies' customers expect increasingly shorter delivery times. Meanwhile, items need to be delivered on time, and companies need to be able to track their shipments at any time. On the other hand, mail and parcel companies aim to achieve the best possible throughput rates. To fulfill both sets of requirements, incoming deliveries need to be identified and sorted largely automatically.

The VIPAC camera-based auto-ID system identifies all standard barcodes and the 2D codes typically used in the sector. In contrast to conventional scanners, VITRONIC's auto-ID system ensures that all standard codes are identified accurately and reliably – even under extreme conditions.

Compared with barcode scanners, VITRONIC's camera-based auto-ID system generates images that are archived for the purposes of documentation, as a record for clients and suppliers, and inbound and outbound goods inspections. Archived data can also be used to analyze the identification process.
